Interview With Hilary Kennedy By Chris 1/2/06
Hilary Kennedy is an up and coming actress
She will be some body to watch out for.
She was worth promoting.
So read the interview with Hilary Kennedy and find out
more.
1. What made you want to be an actress?
I always felt like that is what God intended for me to do
with my life. My great-grandfather was a stunt man in
silent films, so it must run in my family, I guess!
2. Who were your idols growing up?
I idolized Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn, Miss America (whoever
it was at the time!), and Sandra Day O’Conner. Women in
politics were always inspiring.
3. Would you go overseas for a role in a film?
Absolutely! One of the great things about this job is the
travel and working with fascinating people. Australia is
definitely on my list of places I want to work next.
4. If you could work with any body who would it
be?
Sean Connery-the original James Bond. He posesses such
mysterious qualities.
5. What are some of your favourite movies?
Life Is Beautiful, Pretty Woman, and Being Julia, any of
the James Bond movies, and Monty Python and the Holy
Grail.
6. What movies you have seen lately you have really
enjoyed?
I loved The Producers, as well as Crash. Not many movies
have the power to make their audience better people; I left
the theatre with more sympathy for people not like
myself.
7. Who have you enjoyed working with?
I worked with Kevin Frazier (formerly of Sportscenter) of
Entertainment Tonight and Uncle Kracker. We hosted the
largest private music event undertaken in the U.S. with
shows in 50 markets the same night. They were both
extremely talented and funny.
8. What kinda role would you most like to
play?
I always gravitate towards the evil characters; the home
wreckers, the bad girls. I like to be the woman that
everyone loves to hate!
9. What are your thoughts on studio remaking
movies?
Hmmm….I haven’t given it much thought before now, but I
don’t think it’s a bad idea. Classic stories that are truly
great might be missed by this generation if studios didn’t
make it accessible to today’s audience.
10. What are your favourite genre of movies?
Action. I am a kickboxing fanatic, so I love to see the
awesome fight scenes and the wild explosions.
11. Who have you enjoyed working with the
most?
My acting coach, Theresa Bell. She studied with the late
Roy London, who was the greatest acting coach of our time.
She is truly inspiring and pushes me to try new things,
cross the line.
12. What were some of your favourite tv shows growing
up?
Ooooh…. soaps, definitely. That is what I would like to
do most-be on a daytime soap. I loved Days of Our Lives. I
also watched a lot of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Dukes of
Hazzard, Punky Brewster, and Dawson’s Creek.
13. What your view on realty tv?
I will tune in to it once in a while, but it isn’t
something that I would do personally. It can be a little
too cheesy for me!
14. What have you got lined up next?
I will be hosting a pilot for the TLC/Discovery Channel,
and I have a feature in FHM that will be out this spring. I
also have a film coming out in October of 2006 called “Evil
Behind You”, which is a thriller.
15. What’s in your stereo at the moment?
I have an iPod Nano that my Mom gave me that I take
everywhere. I’ve been jamming to Jamie Foxx, R. Kelly,
Kelly Clarkson, Billy Joel, and Mary J. Blige.
16. What are some of your favourite music
artists/bands?
R. Kelly is an all-time favourite. I also love John Mayer,
Led Zepplin, Brian McKnight, and (not kidding) Barry
Manilow. He rocks!
17. What do you enjoy doing when not acting?
I love to go to Colorado and mountain climb or white water
raft. I take kick boxing regularly and attend church.
18. What is it like modelling?
You know, it’s very silly and fun. The hardest part is
trying not to eat tons of food the day of a shoot. You
always want to pig out most when you are about to be posing
in lingerie!
19. How did you get involved with Stuff & Maxim
Magazine?
They contacted me initially because of my job with the
Dallas Stars Hockey Team. They thought my job was a cool
one to feature, since I would get out on the ice in front
of 18,000 fans and commentate. Then FHM called, and it just
kept snowballing!
20. What has been the highlight of your career so
far?
Doing all my own fight scenes and stunt work in “Evil
Behind You” was really cool. I felt like I was finally
utilizing more of my skills.
21. What is next for Hilary Kennedy?
I am trusting in God to take my career in the direction He
wants it to go….I hope to host another show or have a
contract role on a daytime soap. I want to be the bad
girl…
